NORTHERN PLANNER

As a down with the kids, digital native, trend settingm finger on the pulse plannery type person, I do all social mediary, bloggy, Facebooky, Diggy widgety type things you would expect.

But the things that stood out the most for me recently was two simple bits of post. Someon put a little note in with a book they sent me, which was nice…to see the hand writing and picture the office it came from (from my old desk).

The other was a little package containing a leaving present – a block of Norwegian chocolate, a few Earl Grey tea bags and a little post card. It was from a Norwegian friend at old work who'd got dates mixed and missed my leaving date. Made me feel nice on my first day, slightly shy, nervous and stuff.

You can be thoughtful over t'interweb of course, but nothing's as intimate as something you can touch, that's been handwritten. Don't exactly know why, that's just how it is. So I'm very grateful Ben's invited me into Newspaper Club. Not entirely sure what a Northern Newspaper will include yet, any ideas? Not sure who would want one either, apart from Mum of course.

Now, if the postcard has a Ztam.p on it we'd really be in business. Anyway…..
